If you have a dog that likes to bark, and especially if your dog loves to play in the garden and other areas of the house, you will need to get them some special dog protection.
Paper Plate 3d Dog Mask DIY Materials: This is the first part of the setup that will look a little scary at first, but it’s actually quite simple. All you’ve got to do is take a cardboard cutting board and cut the cardboard into the shape of your mask. You can’t just cut a rectangular shape out of the cardboard, so you’ll need to cut around the edge of the mask so that you get something that looks like a cone. The most important thing here is to be realistic with what type of paper plate that you’re using.
Then you’ll have to wrap the cardboard around the edges of the paper plate, making sure there is a good seal between the two pieces so you can make certain that nothing will leak once you place the mask on. Be sure the edges are cut so the edges are not sharp, as this can damage the edges of the mask.
Glue it on! The next step involves using some paint. You should spray the paint over the cardboard, making certain it runs smoothly and evenly across the entire mask. You’ll want to start with one side of the mask , so you can work your way around it before moving onto the other side. The paint needs to be slightly thicker than the cardboard, and it is best that you leave about one-fifth of an inch of paint on the edges so that it runs over the cardboard.
Don’t worry too much about the paint getting stuck into your mask. It’s easy to eliminate it later, and it will leave you with a nice finished mask to show off to everybody! It’s also a good idea to wipe away any excess paint once you are done, so that you don’t end up with smudges or smears on your dog.
Then it’s time to glue the mask on your dog’s head. First you will need to be certain that you have a secure fit between the mask and your dog’s head. As soon as you’ve made sure site that it’s secure, then you may begin to glue the mask on the dog’s face. Take the piece of cardboard that is used for the foundation of the mask and fold it over. Make sure that it’s quite powerful and then use your hands to ensure the cardboard down in place.
Keep your hands out of the way and use tape to hold it in place as you repeat the procedure on the cardboard folds until you’ve got the mask snugged securely onto the face of your dog. Do not make the folds too large or else it could look messy. Once you’ve completed this, you can then take out the mask and attach the cardboard ears. And attach the other part of the mask on the dog. Make certain the ears are flat and be sure that it is not too short or long as this can cause some problems with the mask slipping off the dog’s face.
If you’re using a dog mask as your dog protection, you will need to do some sanding to be certain it’s safe on your dog. You can accomplish this by sanding off any excess paper which might have been eliminated from your mask.
